What is Ho Wood Essential Oil?

Ho-wood oil derives from the Hon Sho variety of Camphor, which occurs mainly in Japan. It is distilled from the leaves and branches of the tree and thus does not smell much like Camphor at all. Rather, it smells a bit like Rosewood, which it substitutes in Aromatherapy use.

Rosewood, a native tree of the Amazon, became endangered due to over-harvesting. Although plantations have since been planted, it takes time for the trees to mature and produce enough oil to produce a viable harvest.

About Ho Wood:

So far, non of the sustainably harvested oil has become available on the aromatherapy market. Ho leaf, distilled from the leaves of the same tree, is gradually beginning to replace Ho-wood oil in Aromatherapy, not because of the sustainability factor, but because its scent is even smoother, containing practically no camphor-like notes at all.

Hon Sho is a vehemently defensive tree - the exudates from its roots (the source of camphor) kills worms and other micro-organisms of the soil, and the leaves that drift into the ocean can kill marine organisms, which is why some consider this oil an environmental hazard. Epileptics should avoid this oil.
